In this webinar, William Miles from Briffa will explain why IP is your most important commercial asset. He will cover the IP rights that are most relevant in the footwear industry and explain what practical steps brands can take to increase their protection, without exposing them to claims from third parties.

Join this free webinar, taking place on Wednesday 26th January at 10 am, to hear first-hand advice from Briffa to help you increase your IP protection.
